This was the last time out for it in August. It has been tucked up even since. If you haven't done it, Touristenfahren is an experience you have to do once. The risks are higher than a track day but do 3 laps and see how you get on. Cocopops and I managed a sub 9 min or our 3rd lap which i thought was pretty good given that the intent had been to take it easy :D

You went to the ring!! Aren't you aware that it's well known you will burst into flames and die a horrible death as soon as one of your tyres touches the tarmac?

The Air raid sirens went off towards the end of the session followed by helicopters...

 

But it was fine, just have to have a bit of self control (of which we had very little and were still ok :D)

The Exige has gone to a new home. The Picture above is the only time this year it left the garage.

It’s replacement arrives in July (they have to make it first) and will be the Vx’s new friend. They’re even more closely related than the vx was with the Exige.

Can’t bloody wait to return to lightness. :D

I had to be a factory order as I can’t stand matt black.

Here is the only other 250Cup with a proper full paint. Imagine the same again, with a hardtop and in Hethel Blue, the colour of Coco’s old Evora (he’ll try to tell you it’s calles Essex but it’s not :P)

I’m in no doubt it will be slower than my vx.

That’s not the point though.
